Rarevision VHS: Retro Cam Comments & Reviews 2026

This is literally amazing. This is a game changer when it comes to posting aesthetic vaporwave late night posts. The fact that the quality of the video is so bad that it is literally perfect and it looks real, unlike the cheap overlays you would have to search for all over the internet and social media. I recommend this app to anyone who wants to put a little retro in their memories. Such a great deal too for $3.99. It’s not free, but it is TOTALLY worth it!!

Great app. I love this app so much, it gets people to go back in time when people used their camcorders. It is really accurate compared to other camcorder apps I used and the sound quality is spot on. I would like to have it where damaged tapes have like a higher volume of static when it does the tracking issue, it is going to be more realistic, especially in older vhs tapes from the 80s and 90s. Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful day and cya.

Already regretting my purchase. I purchased this app about 10 minutes ago and I’m already regretting it. Every time I go into the app when I go to the Settings it automatically changes the view to sides green. When I try to go back, the whole app only goes to half of my iPhone screen. I have the newest iPhone and downloaded the latest app and paid for it and somehow it is still crappy. At least it still is taking my videos even though I have to constantly exit out of the app in order to get the normal view after pressing any button. This app has a lot of great potential. They need to iron out the kinks before charging people for it.

Great! Minor thing. Love the app but (and maybe I’m just missing something??) when I delete the videos off of my camera roll, they don’t stay in the app. It would be really cool if it was like VSCO (you can delete the photos but they stay in the app). The reason I needed to delete them was for storage and was really upset when I opened the app again and found that the videos weren’t there anymore. If there is a way to fix this I would really appreciate if someone let me know somehow. Nonetheless, it’s an amazing app and so much fun to use! I really love it and highly recommend.

Please look in to my suggestion!! :). I really love this app! I had the regular version before and this is the best pro version of any VHS camcorder app so decided to buy this one. I wanted to import a video from a few weeks ago and it was awesome how I could change the date to match the exact same day I took the video. HOWEVER, I realised there was no way to change the time on the video which kinda bummed me out (the video I wanted to import was taken at night time and the time I was importing the video the time read ‘3:20 pm’) so i have to wait until sometime later tonight to import it, that way I can post the video without the time being weird. I think it would be really cool if you added a feature where you could spoof the time as well since you already have one for the date. Thanks for taking the time to read this!!

App keeps resetting all my settings. Every few months or so my app seems to forget that it’s been on my phone for more than 5 years. I will see something i want to record with the app and hastily open it only for all my settings to be back to default and for it to try to walk me though a demo. I have even missed out on some great videos because of this issue. This is incredibly frustrating every time it happens and because of it I really limit what features I use so that I don’t have to look through all the settings trying to remember what I used and what I didn’t use. This has been an issue for years and I refuse to believe it cannot be solved. Other than that this app is wonderful and does basically everything you would want it to. Its a shame that due to the above mentioned issue it’s customizability does double duty as both a pro and a con. I hope this one glaring issue can be remedied after all these years.

I’ve it had it for 6+ years. There a bug now. In the past this app worked perfectly and is overall a great app. I’ve had it for over 6 years… but now there’s a bug whenever importing videos into the app. The screen switches to landscape & then back to portrait. However it gets stuck in between the two. This results in the entire right side of the screen being inaccessible during the import process. It doesn’t make the app unusable. It does however remove the ability to make the “titler” flicker over imported videos.

Some bug fixes need to be made. I adore this app and it’s nearly perfected the VHS style, but some of my videos look worse than the ones my grandparents made in the late 80’s. when trying to video things from afar, the filters can’t capture all of the figure so they stretch colors out making the person look all pixel-like. Also, some things even up close are so blurry it ruins the aesthetic. I suggest adding a 2000’s VHS filter that doesn’t mesh the colors and blur to the point where you can’t identity a person or a thing in the video. It’s way too grainy even with a different filter on.

Nostalgia. When I was young, I used to be the one grabbing the camcorder to record our family events. Though I was born in the 80’s, I started using the camcorder in the early 90’s. When I saw what this app could do, I was taken back to that beautiful time in life. I purchased the app and quickly fell in love with it. Every recording feels like I’m living in those days again. I totally recommend it. It is worth every penny.

Fun app , one time cost is perfect. I have been really enjoying the retro vibes. Instead of spending considerately more for actual retro cameras and dealing with all that, this app mimics that nostalgia feel. It’s also a one time payment which was the deciding factor for buying it. It also lets me import videos I already recorded to add the same effect to those videos. Overall really cool and I recommend for the features and one time payment.

Home Movies Never Looked So Good!. RarevisionVHS takes you back, if you’re of a certain age, to those childhood years or family functions that live forever on tape. With true-to-form videocassette audio quality and outstanding attention to detail with titles or time and date stamp, I’ve long enjoyed using this app to bring that feeling back. We even used it to film promos and a tiny bit of footage for an indie film I started in. I had intended to use my actual video camcorder for that, but its battery was having issues and a new battery wouldn’t come in time. Since I’d already had RarevisionVHS downloaded and had loved it, I suggested we try it to see if it’d feel the same, and it did! And it felt authentic to the mid/late-1980’s, the time in which the film was set. All in all, I’ve enjoyed this app for years and will continue to use it. Thank you, RarevisionVHS.

Music While Recording. I installed this app yesterday for a house party and it was a HIT. The adjustments on the menu screen are helpful (adjusting the time stamp, resolution, title, etc.), however, the only suggestion I have is to allow music from the user’s device play in the background. I use Apple Music and I notice when I begin to play a song and open this app, the song immediately pauses. I really enjoy this app and I highly recommend it to 80s/90s enthusiasts. I notice other reviewers mentioned the music factor and I hope this is something that can be resolved. 😊

SO GOOOOOD!!. As someone who is a professional film maker this app is INCREDIBLE! You can see the attention to detail, it feels about as as ‘real’ as you can get with an iphone! I love the settings and everything, my only complaint, literally my one complaint, is I wish there was an ability to adjust the size of the on-screen text. That would make this app 10/10, wayyy worth the money. Support this app because they’re one of the few apps these days that’s a one time purchase!! PS: One feature that would be cool would be the ability to save the video as a normal video as well as the affected one. This is just a footnote though as i’m sure that would require crazy coding and probably affect the performance of the app.

Love my vhs app. I use this app all the time, can’t complain. Love taking videos in vhs style. Now that I think about it, I’m kind of trolling my future self. I’ve been taking plenty of vhs style clips in my phone for months and haven’t done anything with them yet, but I think I will eventually turn them into a lil movie. Excellent app. Worth whatever they are asking for it. I mostly use the basic default setting but they also offer different filters if u are an artsy type.

Thanks for the app. Hello there! I got this app at first because I was looking into buying an old camera for a short film I wanted to make, but I didn’t have much money so I found this and I originally had the first one but it was amazing it looks like if it was a while back it was so good I bought the upgraded version and that was even better I love the options and the filters and everything, so thanks for making this app!

Suggestion/s. It’s a very good app; I bought it because I like old type videos you know, pretty cool how you can set a title for your videos and everything. Then I thought that it’ll be much better if you can take pictures in it, I know the app its about a recorder app but it’ll be much better if you can take pictures and edit pics from your Camera Roll! Like I have a lot of pics that I can edit from this app even videos. I will like to have that feature in the app... I was even gonna make a refund of it just because of that but I decided to leave this comment here and see if something changes.💯

Awesome. This is a great app! I’ve never actually reviewed one before but I felt I needed to review this app because it really impressed me. The effect is convincing, and I love being able to control the quality of the video by dragging up and down. I also love the ability to be able to import videos, (though it would be nice to be able to import from google drive, but I can just download it to camera roll so it doesn’t really matter). It’s a great app!

best purchase. this app is amazing. I love how the old school 90’s kinda early 2000’s trend is coming back and I love how you can change the date, however, I think it’ll be even cooler if you can change the time too. I also think changing the time on the VHS is cool so when you’re importing a video to the app you don’t always have to wait for a certain time you want to post. Anyways, this purchase is worth it even if you’re not really using it 24/7, it’s just a really nice app to have. Plus when you make personal edits this will add a nice touch to it.

I love this app! Just one tweak.... The whole effect is really good. The only thing that could be done better is the color bleed effect. It's not quite how VHS looked since the VHS color channel was basically squished horizontally, and then re expanded to save on film space. That re expanding is what caused the colors to bleed since the colors were basically blurred horizontally. If there's a way you guys could implement that, then this app would be spot on!! I am being overly critical with this I know, but this app is 90% there. Improve the color bleed effect and it will be 100%!

Great app. Worth the money😐👍 I have no problems but something to keep in fact is that when you delete the video from your camera roll it also deletes it from the apps storage. The quality it top notch and I would highly recommend. The different filters are also amazing and the fact that we can change the date is also something I really enjoy doing. This app is without a doubt great.

Awesome App!..Just a Few, Minor Things.. This app is amazing, I use it a lot! I love it a lot. There are some little fixes I suggest. Well, for starters, it would be awesome it have the little multicolored interference like some other users have said to make it look more 80s. I also think the font/date should be a but more 80s as well. You can kinda tell it’s fake. Other than that, this app is awesome. I also need help with something else. Some might find this easy to fix, but I’m not good with app updates or anything, heh.😂 But I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why my phone isn’t updating for the app. I will go to menu and I will press the “Tap here to have full update!” Or whatever it says. So I’ll click on it but it just brings me back to the AppStore and the app. I’ll go to my little update section and it won’t say the VHS Cam needs to be updated. I’ve done all that I can to try to figure it out. I’ll go to settings, I’ll look in the VHS Camcorder settings, but I can’t seem to find out how to update it. I’m afraid I’m over thinking all of it or it has to do with my phone. I have an iPhone 6s if that has something to do with it.. I would absolutely love to have all the filters, mess with the date, and be able to film longer. May anyone help me? Thanks!

The most nostalgic VHS video filter. This app pretty much pays for itself. There’s so many options for customization that you’ll spend hours up to days and days discovering so many fun things. This app beats the rest of the bunch because it imports video footage fast and easy. If you do have clips that are longer than a 1 minute or 2, be patient and make sure that you have your device at least 80 percent charged with the screen option for it to not go off at all while it’s recording your footage. The only part that I would suggest is a sound leveler option between the original sound and the glitch sounds keeping the original sounds loud enough along with the glitch sound effects. Otherwise, this app is the best authentic looking VHS looking app you’ll find if you’re really a big fan of the old school VHS glitch looks. It’s great for importing footage and creating an old school look, but if you are filming yourself keep in mind that good lighting is key for the best results.

Not as many options!. A tad annoyed that the date and time configuration is not the same as the lite app. You can only have it in the bottom right whereas in the lite version it’s in the bottom left, plus I liked that the date and time was together. I wish I had an option to change the configuration. The title I find particularly annoying because you can only have it in the middle. I’d like to be able to move it to the bottom of the screen so it’s not covering everything up that I’m filming and I can have it on the video the whole time. Plus you have to hit menu, then app config to get to most of the app settings. I’d prefer one button to get this. At least I get more recording time and I can change the date. And I do like the old fashioned menu for color settings. I’d like to see some improvement though

Almost perfect. The app is truly wonderful and the closest thing to what a VHS recording would look like. Some things that would make it better: More audio degradation effects. For example, a hum or tracking synchronization with audio interference. Another effect could be when the recording starts, it produced a jump effect in the image accompanied by a speed audio distortion. Consideration of other VHS fonts with wider character support for other languages.

This is a truly well thought through app!. I was skeptical but I was convinced by another reviewer who spoke of how various the app is, and they were dead on. I instantly was satisfied. There are all sorts of little tricks and tweaks you can make to create a solid VHS tape, or Hi8 which is my favorite of the settings. It does look very correct, and I’d like to compliment the zoom especially for being accurate to that style and besting the iPhone 11 Pro’s zoom (which is glitchy and jumpy and RUINS a video.) I would like to see more settings and ways to adjust them. But I do recommend this app if you have a reason to make a video look this way. It’s very cheap and the creators obviously care.

Absolute perfection! 🤩. As one who is really into the genre of eerie VHS tapes, or would say this hits the ball out of the park! The amount of settings to adjust the recorder the way I want is more than enough; not to mention the clever little features like “Spoof recording date” and “Frame Rate” that add a nice touch (there’s many others, but those in particular caught my eye). One of my favorite details about this app is how well the audio and video get distorted compared to an old camcorder my father used to own. The static, barely-able-to-make-out audio, just ties it all in for authenticity. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make authentic VHS videos with a click of a button, then definitely spend the few bucks on this app. It’s worth it.

Great app for video memoirs. So far it’s been great. I love what they’ve done with this app but I wish they had an option or filter for modern video but still include the VHS text in the screen. Also the app has crashed on me a few times when I rotate my phone. Another thing, I wish I could see what filter I’m using when I’m selecting by swiping it (like Instagram). Overall worth the purchase and I’m happy with it for what it is.

Totally classic home video! Best video cam app ever!. I must say, when I downloaded this that I was excited to have a classic home camera with classic features! The $3.99 was worth it! I think this app is perfect with how it looks! It has the classic zoom in and out. You can pause a video while recording, and the date and time shows! I was looking for a camcorder/classic camera recording app and I am glad to find this one! It would be cool to use a classic camera app that can be used on a state-of-the art tablet. I am gonna try to get a camcorder for Christmas! Thank you so much! Love it!

Button placement. This app is amazing and I’m constantly using it, but when it comes to take videos of myself I find It awkward when watching a video back of me recording myself because you see yourself pressing the record button with one hand and then switching hands to use the zoom in and zoom out. I feel like it would be better if you guys put the record button and the zoom in and out buttons on the same side.

Was good, could be better. I don’t know what’s happened but whenever the app updates ALL of my settings get wiped. Be it recording settings or titler settings, etc, always get reset to stock ones. Also upon launching the video is really skinny, I have to go in and out of settings for it to show right. This is with 4:3 on. Also I wish the spoof date setting also rolled over the day once you hit midnight. Also I wish I could turn on and off the date while recording, just like with a real old camcorder. Also I wish I could easily stitch together clips I take one after another again like a real cam.

Better VHS effect than anything on Snap or IG. The VHS effect on this is way better than anything on snap or IG. Has loads more customization as well, such as spoofing the date, adding text, etc. I love it. I first purchased it thinking “it’s just a couple of dollars, even if I never use it, I’m not losing anything.” It has since been probably the one app I’ve had the longest. The ability to upload video into the effect is the cherry on top. Overall, it is hands down my favorite app on iPhone.

Great App, But.... Love the app, a real great simulator of 1980s/90s technology. A great feature would be the light bleed effect common in some model camcorders. The effect is seen in many films where the sources of light, lamps, bulbs, the sun, and televisions would cause a bleeding effect and trails when the camera would move. A realistic simulation of this effect would really add a whole new level of realism to the VHS Camcorder. Also perhaps more control over the effects, such as brightness, white balance, and color casting. Other than my suggestions, this is a great app from someone who owns many real 1980s camcorders, this is easily the second best thing!

A small addition. I love the app and think it works wonderfully. It is easily the best VHS cam app on the App Store, however, I do have one small item I would like to see and that is a “Fade” button or option so when you begin recording it fades in from white and when you stop recording it fades out to white. This was a common feature on camcorders in the 80s and 90s and would complete the app for me. Outside of that keep up the great work Rarevision.

Not bad, but... The other, free VHS Cam app has “Play” text on the screen. This has “TBC”. Would be nice to basically have a full version of that... as that’s what I was expecting. That said, VHS Cam is impossible to close on iPhones without the button. You have to press power on the phone to turn off the screen, then power again and quickly swipe up to close the app or to get to another app or the iOS home screen. This app - it’s the same except you have to tilt the phone to portrait and then you can swipe up to close the app or get to the home screen (this method doesn’t work on VHS Cam). Who makes an app you can’t close? Seriously. Also, why doesn’t VHS Cam know I bought the full app? Can’t use that thing at all. Crazy. Edit following dev response: You need date and time on screen to have “play” text appear. Disable the date and time, “play” disappears. You long press the bottom right, not the bottom of the screen to toggle date styles. There is no option to select between date style in the menu. Home swiping up twice on either app does nothing to move the app to the background to use another app or close them.

Review on this app:. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS APP! I use it everyday/whenever I get a chance. I’m so happy with my purchase and will/would NOT ever regret my purchase. This app is great for photography, people who just love taking photos, people who might like old looking things and just honestly overall anyone. Never ever will I go back to any other camera app. Thanks to the people who made this app! You really changed my life. I would 10/10 recommend getting this and purchasing the extra $3.99. If you’re reading this and debating on getting this just do it! You won’t regret it I promise!!!!!

Get this. One of the rare apps that actually emulates old camcorder videos. Kids-you have it made today because my camcorders were a grand each and I had a few. The effects in this app were what we didn’t want back then but now are sought upon. This developer is on of the rare (pardon the pun) devs on the App Store that is not out to grab your money with a subscription model. This app is updated often, has a great Ui, is self explanatory for people who are that tech savvy, and is affordable. I have a ton of video apps I shoot with and this app is in my top five. Don’t hesitate on this one -just get it!!

Great and alot of features. I was initially interested in finding a app to Offer a vintage camera look but this blew me away. I was unaware of how much we have over the distortion, color and even title. It can get a bit all over the place from time to time as I initially had now idea of the swipe feature which had me lost. Overall Great app. Before I finish I did have an issue with escaping the text box when editing titler if that was fixed easy 5/5

Amazing Retro App!. From it’s 80s purple/blue aesthetic to its videotape recorder button styles, VHS Camcorder nails the perfect time machine into the past of video recording while still maintaining cutting edge videotaping resolutions. It’s everything that any true retro video fan would love, from silly titles to spoofing the date, with multivariable grain levels, filters, and frame dropping. With its function to run up to 1080p at 30fps, it still retains clean and modern video resolutions as well as the option to upload and convert previous videos, a huge plus for this app. However a few changes could be implemented, such as the addition of different filters, more aesthetic control, as well as options to make the video worse or to include more static. Otherwise this app is absolutely amazing, completely worth the money, and serves as an excellent point of true 80s nostalgia

Absolutely worth every penny. I love this app so much and it’s honestly the best 4 dollars I’ve ever spent JDJSJF With that being said, the only thing I can recommend is a way to edit videos after they’ve been recorded !! I wish there was a way to change the way how glitchy it was or add the text after you’ve already finished the video in case you forgot too or didn’t think to do it until after you finished. I think this would also be really helpful when importing videos. Whenever you import videos, it’s all sped up and it’s incredibly hard to change filter or add title when it’s going insanely fast and you can’t pause. I think a scroll bar that allows you to look through a video when it’s finished would be really nice !! It could allow you to go back to a certain part of the imported video or recorded video and allow you to make changes and make it however you want. Hopefully this random rant makes sense, just a thought I had Again, fantastic app, and I’m really happy with what I got !!!

Another note.... Note that most of the reviews are from 2 years ago when the app was in its early stages. Now this app has use of the flashlight, there are 3 filters (none, retrocolor, b&w, and nuclear[which is my favorite]) and the resolution options are 480, 720, and 1080p with 24,25 and 60fps. there is also now an option for random tape dropouts which is great. A few people are talking about making it so you can play music while recording so you dont have “a quiet video, or have to just talk...” Id just like to say that this app looks very authentic and you couldnt play music on your camcorder back then! lol i also think its very unnecessary. also importing videos into the app seems like a cool idea but also, ehh, you dont really need to guys, record what you want to with the app! theres no reason this app shouldnt have 5 stars across the board!

Awesome. This app is extremely easy to use and gives you realistic vhs effects without using any editing software to apply overlays. There are a crap-ton of options and the video and audio quality is almost exactly like a real camcorder. You don’t have to pay for a subscription like other vhs apps I was looking at, overall great app, I’d recommend buying this one over others on the App Store.

📼 High quality for LOW PRICE!! 📼. I love nostalgia, retro, dreamcore, weirdcore, analog, etc. and this camera app is probably the closest, practically perfect, replica of the old recording device I feel you will ever get!!! It is worth every single penny!! It has many awesome settings and details that you cam really see the care the creators put into this!! ( speaking of creators.. I have a suggestion for the app!!! It would be SUPER RAD, if you added a zooming sound effect for when you zoom in or out!! It would just make it that much more nostalgic!! ) 📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼

Love😍🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love the App! Pretty cool...I like it. I like the one time payment feature. It is very accurate with the VHS effect and it I’m enjoying the unlimited and importanting the videos from my phone into the app. It would be good if we could also import photos from our phone into the App to get the same effect that we get for our videos. Other than that the app is perfect. It works well and it does what it’s supposed to do perfectly.

Great! I just have some ideas... First I want to say, AMAZING APP! I just got some ideas to make it better. First off, please add music! Like, old 1980s music for a better effect. Another thing is backgrounds. You should add custom backgrounds to put titles on. So it can have that old nostalgic intro to your 1900s film. Another thing, say you choose static, but theres no scratching sound! You should add custom sounds for the filter. Last thing, you should make it so every time you start recording it will do a blue "Play" screen, so when you watch it it will start like you're actually putting a VHS tape into a VCR player. Anyways, great app. Worth everything. Just please add those things, thank you!

My Only Problem Recently. First off, I love this app. I got it way before when it was free, but it’s still an amazing app even if you pay for it. My problem started when I was recording a sets at a concert for some artists and use this app for some vhs aesthetic to add to the footage. But through out the concert, some clips that would get exported had no audio. It would be like every other clip. I never had this issue before, filmed whole concerts and no issue, until recently. i filmed at other concerts and never had that issue and some clips clearly worked. I think I’m gonna just record through the normal camera and then import from now on because that ruined most of my footage not just for me but the artist aswell. Hopefully there is a fix for this.

🔥🥲. Love this app. I recently bought a death lens fisheye for my iPhone.. Pairing that lens with this app almost makes me feel like I am filming with a Sony VX1000🤤 Can't wait to start filming some skateboarding again! One thing that I think could take this app to the next level would be to make it compatible with wireless "selfie" remotes. This would be extremely useful, especially when filming with the death lens/death grip- because using the death grip handle obstructs a lot of the iPhones view. Either way- well done!!!

Gotten a lot better! But... There are some small improvements that I feel are needed. Tapping should remove the graphics, not it and the date. Hiding the date should not also hide the graphics. And when going to Hi8, the tape and the green “TBC” should be removed and replaced with the “Hi8” logo. Change time between from 12 hours (e.g. 6:00pm will be ‘18:00:00’) or what’s available now; also a way to manipulate it as with the date. Also maybe programmable keys somewhere for keeping tabs with certain effects, since static and color bars would be useful if I could get to them and not swipe to them? I still would like for there to be a way to turn off the interference when under other effects

Love It!!!. Totally worth the money. I was going back and forth between multiple options and I’m very glad I went with this one. The video is convincing and the audio distortion seems spot on as well. I have nothing negative to say about this app. The only item I’d add to a wishlist would be to be able to add a “blip” in the video whenever you want (the multicolored interference that you would occasionally see in old recordings). Just a quick tap on the screen to do it would be perfect.

Beautiful. I love this so much, it’s has such a great atheistic and seems just like the actual camera. Although I have one problem, I can’t change the time, if I wanna film at 3 in the am but wanna make it seem like 8 pm I gotta wait hours and hours, I hope that’s added but it might never happen. Anyway that the ONLY problem. Other than that, ten out of ten. It’s great

App crashes when trying to import videos. I just purchased this app and its a huge disappointment. Every time you try to import a video, even a very short one (40 seconds to 1:10 minute) the wheel starts spinning and then the app crashes. I restarted my iphone, to no avail. I was already wondering if this app was legit or just another poorly made money grabber when I opened it after my purchase and noticed that the developers didn’t even bother resizing the intro message so that it will fit the screen. There is no way I can use this app if it doesn’t do what promised. I feel like I wasted $4.99 and will have to report it to the App Store to get a refund.

This is by far the best vhs filter I’ve ever used. Since I’ve got it I’ve used it almost every day.

Spot on with the VHS look.. It’s no wonder why I look you guys.

Please added a Left-handed mode!. This app is great but I would love a left handed mode, or allow the HUD to flip, otherwise it’d be a solid 5/5!

Great app but only one minor issue. Remove the chromatic abberation (rgb split) or make it an option to remove it. It would look so much more realistic without it. This app is great, easy to use and the filters are pretty good.

love it sm. I use this app to film so many thongs and the settings, quality & everything is amazing. Keep it up ❤️

80’s / 90’s joy. Very cool, easy retro video fun

Almost perfect, few issues. This app is the only one with a trustable, real-looking VHS filter. The filters allow diversity, but there isn’t many to the point it gets confusing. You have implemented options for settings which people need, perfect! The issues are: - Some of the user interface isn’t well made. Foe example, it getts annoying when the strength of the glitch can be so easily and accidentally altered by moving my finger up and down the screen. It should be made one of the options on the menu, with a meter displaying which level you are at. Same with the import / export video stuff, it is so confusing. Please remove the whole swipe to change stuff and clean up the import interface, and allow me to change the time. Apart from that, Money well spent, bravo!

Amazing mate 🇦🇺. This is An Amazing vhs app and most accurate one yet! One suggestion is to add comet tails or light-streaking if possible but above all great app

RarevisionVHS rating. AWSOME!!!!! Absolutely brings back the good days

VHS app review. This app used to be so amazing, BUT then they made a rubbish update which meant that I could no longer merge pre recorded videos with the VHS filter without the video becoming stretched and flipped in the wrong orientation - please fix this issue!! Besides this, the app is really cool

Nice app but crashes a lot. Not worth the money if it’s gonna crash every second time you go to import a video. If it didn’t crash as much, it would an awesome app.

Love it!. Should make more size options for the date on the video. Crashes sometimes when importing a video.

Amazing communication. Love this app! I contacted the developers when I found an issue. They where really prompt and helpful. A new update is coming soon.

It stopped working?. I had it for almost a year but now it stopped working I'm so confused It was such a good app but now I can't do anything it just shows the blur screen? Can I get a refund please?

God like. This is one of the best apps on my phone. My only complaint is when you import a video it speeds it up which I wish would be optional but apart from that it is still an incredible app

Awesome App, Few Improvements To Make It 5 Star !. Needs - in app feedback button - Instagram story / Facebook story sharing, integration and 1:1 aspect ratio - needs all the social sharing tools - needs varying types of vhs and colour spaces - needs simple colour edits - needs a truly native iPad app with regular updates - needs more anamorphic flaring type effects

Version 1.6 - PLEASE READ. Been using this app for a couple weeks and with the newest update they have ruined a few things. For starters, all the old filters before 1.6 no longer share the same colour, saturation, contrast and brightness. They have all been changed with the new sliders in which you can’t recreate the same filter palette of the previous version. Secondly, the black bars DO NOT extend to the bottom of the frame anymore. This is very frustrating and doesn’t look good at all. The bottom rollout looks out of place and lazily added. Lastly, importing videos have a few bugs where you have to tap and hold the option twice or hold it for longer (more than 10 seconds) to work. The prior update was an instant tap. Please fix this (especially the black bars!). I don’t know what bug fixes were made but it seems fixing a few bugs created more. Not happy after paying for the full version.

Perfect. Basically flawless. Wish it was on PC

help pls lol. are you able to upload videos from your camera roll to the app so you can use the filter on videos that were filmed on the normal camera? if not, that would be amazing

Great app. Used other apps to get a lofi/vhs aesthetic but most of them aren’t that great. This one rocks and doesn’t just randomly crash. Great job and hope to see what’s next from the developers.

Fun... Maybe we could get some more features?. It’s a good bit of nostalgic fun, done well and done right! We definitely could see some more features implemented? More filters maybe? :)

Worth the money. Works well once you play around with the settings . I love that you can upload videos to the app to give them the VHS look.

Can’t seem to restore purchases as I can’t find the option to.. Great app, works great, love it. But can’t restore purchases. Got a new phone and wanna try this on a new camera but I can’t restore my purchase because I can’t find the option. Guide me please.

Awesome. Definitely love this app! Now I’m officially bringing Analogue TV back to life! So happy! 😃😃😃😃😃

Audio in imported video is out of sync. When I imported a video into the app and then saved it to my camera roll, the audio was out of sync to the person who was talking. Please fix

Doesn’t even save videos. Horrible app! It crashes everytime I try to save an imported video or it says it can’t save it. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

Reliable and nostalgic. Overall a really great app. Definitely recommend this to those of you who lives through the camcorder and VHS era. Super nostalgic. Things that could be improved: Could use more variety when it comes to image static and noise. Would love to see more noise randomisation and perhaps more manipulation tools. The interface buttons. I think they’re going for the retro aesthetic, but it falls short. Overall a great app and I hope it is still being developed because there is a gap in the market and the people love this aesthetic at the moment.

Old Is The New!. I’m majorly impressed with this app. So many variations with how you can transform your smart device camera for a cheap price, into an obsolete VHS camcorder! The downfalls, you can’t play music over it like Snapchat does. You cannot edit your films also with the inclusion of music.

So good. Amazing worth paying for only thing I’d change is to be able to make videos from camera roll

Really good. When I first got this app I had no problems, I make edits and I obviously want to send them to my camera roll. But when I press play after recording an edit it doesn’t show up, it says ‘no videos’ and it isn’t in my camera roll either. Is there anything I’m doing wrong?

worth it!. to be honest, for what you're getting is worth it. there are a lot of features that are accessible, including filters, video ratios, and text. one take-away is the price. from what i remember is that it was around $7-9 aud, and it was pricey. i had tried to search for a better app, but honestly, nothing beats this app. if your choices have become limited, and if you want an app with more than just a vhs camera effect, this app has what you're looking for.

Blast from the past!!!. Wow I can't explain how much I love this app. It's worth the money to buy it. Just add a couple of more things: 1. Add a title into the video recording. 2. When you fast forward and rewind you get a high pitch sound from the video can you add that please? Other than that, Great app!!

Great Quality!. This is a Brilliant Replica of a VHS footage Great for the price! I have nothing to complain about, the date spoofing is cool and the filters are a nice extra touch! I have tried many apps like this is the past and this one is my go to every time!

Epic. Had everything I wanted 😀😄

Most authentic camcorder. The most accurate and greatest camcorder app ever and it was worth the money

VHS camera. I’m a huge fan of that, so I can record my videos just like in the 90s

Best filter!. Hey RarevisionVHS I love this app! I don’t like the free version though.

Been using this app since brand new in 2015. it’s worth the money and you can do a lot of projects with this app

Most accurate VHS App on the store. I love vhs cameras, and I’ve gone through a lot of apps to manipulate a vhs camera. A lot of apps are way off. This app has been the closest to an actual vhs camera, and it’s definitely worth the money!!

Lots of fun. A lot of fun, and oddly makes me want to make more home videos of the family in tacky “Uncle with a camcorder” style. Only thing I don’t like is that “play” pops up every time you hit record - when you put your clips all together it means it pops up constantly! Otherwise the image is great - very authentic feeling!

Awesome Video App!!. I love it!! Please add 60fps option on the upcoming update and an upscale of 4K if possible. Also if possible remove the “play” when start recording.

Cannot upload your own videos. Don’t bother purchasing the app because the import option does not work. Every time I try to import a video from my camera roll the app just freezes on me. Waste of $$$ which is a shame because the app has everything i need but just cannot enjoy it.

Good app, keeps crashing. Really love the features of the app, but it keeps crashing on startup. Would still recommend for the price.

FIX THE POSITION OF THE DATE FOR WIDE OPTION. Hey, this app is so amazing and easy to use but please in the next update move the date to the actual corner of the phone for wide option PLEASEEE it’s so annoying when it’s literally in the middle of the video it just looks off so please and add ratio sizings and let us move the date around pleasseee that’d be sooooooo much easier and gives us more freedom paid $6AUD and kindaaaaa unhappy that I couldn’t change the effects or move the date so please add it thank you

i love it !. it’s really good I really recommend it

Trending. Been using it since i found it years ago, now I've started to see plenty of instagram videos with this app in use. Next move is to get my hands on an actual camcorder

The best. My memories has different flair now, so easy and worth buying

Thanks for this.. This is very cool, could you also make one with color bleed? Thanks

Video not saving!. I’ve been trying to process a video from my gallery and it will only save 2 seconds! (I have enough storage)!

Authentic. Excellent effect; some of the features could be easier/clearer (processing multiple files at once, adding text at specific times). An option to use the photos metadata as the time stamp, instead of the time you process it through the app would be awesome, too

Why RarevisionVHS is so good. Me and my friend made a channel redarchive_0 and this really helps us make the videos to upload onto YouTube

Horrible: I wish i never paid for it. It freezes so often. I can barely even use it. And for the cost? Absolutely unacceptable.

Good app, could use more options. The app works well and is worth the cost, I'd suggest adding more options to the menu though- mainly the date stamp format. For example changing it to a numercial stamp as many VHS Camcorders used to feature (ex. 05/25/98 instead of May 25 1998)

Almost perfect. Everything is good except music from my phone pauses when I enter the app. Make an option to enable music whilst on the app. Edit: It closes the app after clicking a video in the gallery. And it keeps telling me to rate it even though I’ve rated. -1 star

Extremely cool video app !. In a world that has given nearly every human a digital lobotomy, it’s nice to look through a lens that resembles a portal back to a time of innocence and pure non-wifi joy!!! Thank you RarevisionVHS ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It felt real so real. You could use more features, but it’s still really good

Almost perfect… pls read.. It’s been a year or so since I had this app and my only gripe is not being able to focus by tapping the screen like on a regular camera app. This app tends to unfocus sometimes and not being able to manually focus is a bit annoying. I love it but if that could get fixed, it would be perfect. The only fix is if I shake my phone or if I quickly hit the selfie button twice.

Love this app. Had it for years

Great app!. Used for egg and avocado music video out june 1st!

Please not update. I hate the update. I miss the old look not like five years ago, but like one day ago.

Love it. Love it a lot

worth the $. goes hard

Really good recommend this app. This really works, I like how much customization it offers and it’s really useful for film like horror or nostalgia

It’s amazing. Awesome app!

Great!!. So good for backrooms Videos

Pretty good!. Using it to make a VHS horror. Works amazing. Great customization!

App. It’s so fun to play with

VHS. Awesome

VHS :D. Since I can’t find a vhs camera. I can use this app

I love this. It look like I’m on a vhs

Amazing!. I’m making a Analog Horror Series on YouTube And it’s great for my vhs effects!

super gang. it’s gang

Awesome!. Great app. Looking forward to (possible?) future features! :) Though, while it really only does one thing, it does it well.

How do people not want this. Not a ton to tell about this app besides the fact it looks amazing and the visuals are incredible. I will continue to use this app, well worth the money. In my opinion this app is actually perfect for vhs in every way.

Great app filled with glitches. It was great a few years ago but i believe the developers stopped caring about their app. Many major glitches appears in ios16 such as the main screen gets stuck on portrait sideways when leaving the menu, black borders appear randomnly, selfie mode can’t be switched back when pressing menu, etc. Please fix these, your app is too good to let it die.

Perfect…But…. Perfect app looks great but has trouble focusing sometimes and also you can’t chose what lense to use and sometimes it’s glitchy

Great app. This app I have used every day and it is so good the quality and effects are cool

App freezes when launching. Bought this app. Tried launching and it freezes and doesn’t work as intended. Tried reinstalling and I have the same issue. I hope I can get some resolution for this issue. If not I really feel like It’s a waste of money

Awesome. I love this app so realistic

Supa lit 🔥. Not much to say, if u looking for a retro / throw back feel this the app to get. No regrets 🙏🏿

Good soup. Good soup

Camera stuck sideways. I’ve had this app since 2017 and I love it. Unfortunately, just recently I encountered my first issue. The app will not rotate and is stuck sideways. There was no problem previously and I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I’ve tried changing the settings on my phone and in the app and nothing seems to fix it. Is there any possible solution that I’m missing? Any help is appreciated, I’d love to use the app again.

Honestly amazing. I’ve used this app countless times now and it’s a game changer, it’s not widely known, it’s simple to use, and looks so damn realistic! I really recommend it to people that wanna have a vhs effect that is convincing!

pretty good. the all is pretty good,however I have a suggestion. my suggestion is that you add a tracking static line intensity option.because in my opinion,the tracking static is WAY to intense

Great. Great app, great options and quality!

Review. This app is soo good. I like making music videos on this

AMAZING for my personal project. I’m starting a found footage arg, and this app is PERFECT I love how realistic it looks, and If I could rate it 100 stars I would

Can import videos now. Officially making this the best vhs app on the App Store. Most realistic anyways, compared to all other apps.

Crashes. I donno but in my phone it crashes after i play the video in the play option. It also shows half screen when hold vertically. Its problem with new iphone 14. Fixing it will be appreciated

I Like this App!. It Will sometimes crash after a specific time. other then That, I think this App is Good

Crashes, Can’t Import. Bad UX Not worth it.

Really Nostalgic!!. This app is pretty cool and very nostalgic, I can’t wait to see more updates for it. 📹📼

Simple chunky lovely fun. Slamajammaramma mama.. Love this app.

Used to be good. Used to be a great app, but it has just stopped working on my iPhone 13 pro. 🤷‍♂️😔

Love this app. definitely my go to app ♥️

REVIEW. i love this app it does a lot perfectly the only fault id give it is that you cant record audio that is playing off your phone the way you would on an app like snapchat, second when lighting is poor the app barely picks up on anything would be interested in some new filters as well please keep updating the app i use it everyday on my instagram @reel.66

The best VHS effect. This app does a very good job with simulating the vhf effect. The best in the App Store in my opinion. :D

Simple and Ad Free. That’s all that needs to be said about this nearly perfect VHS style video filter.

great app. has this app for years. easy to use and a decent amount of customization. my ONLY issue is the overall quality of the videos and pictures from the app. the sharpness just isn’t there. however to portray the vhs feel, does an awesome job

Idk. Really simple to use glad that i paid just fix the carshes man

Please Read. This app is really kool, however one thing I noticed nobody ever says or mentions is how u can’t play music wile recording. It would be so much better if u can record n play music in the background, instead of having a really silent video or u having to talk throughout the video. Sometimes you just want t record something without having to talk or have it quiet, Please fix that or give us a option to play music wile being used.

Easily The Best VHS Effect App. A couple months ago I wanted an app that had a good looking and authentic VHS filter and I found none that were what I wanted until I found the free version of this app and got it and it was a shame I had to limit the time I recorded for but I bought this and it is just one of, if not the best VHS effect app.

App Keeps Crashing :(. Hi! I don’t know if this will get read, but I’m an editor. In my spare time, I like to make video edits and I absolutely love the VHS effect/filter! I bought this app because I’ve seen many other editors use it, their projects always come out looking nice :) But the thing is, it keeps crashing and I have no idea why. When I try to import a clip, the app will close by itself and it’s getting annoying now :/ idk what to do 🥺 Is there any way I can fix this?

A great app with one nitpick. I will say this app is great I love the look, the customization, and the functionality my only gripe and it’s a small one is that the volume up button does not act as a shudder so if I put my phone on a mount and press the remote shudder to start recording it won’t work in this app only in the native camera app I don’t know if this could be implemented or even added as an optional setting but other than that this app is absolutely perfect and nothing beats it.

Extremely accurate. I’ve been using this app for quite some time and I can say that it is extremely accurate to a real VHS camcorder. I’m really liking the extra details in the new update so far. However, I feel that the filter has changed a bit and I enjoy the original vhs effect before the update. Is it possible to add that in the settings? So you can switch between the old look and the new look? Thanks!

JUST BUY IT. My sisters and I are OBSESSED with the look of VHS tapes. Reminds us of home videos we watch all the time with our family. I was looking into cameras to purchase and one day thought … maybe there’s an app for it?? Came on this one and immediately purchased it. Seconds later, my sisters purchased it as well. Super convenient and definitely worth your money!

Great app. Worth the money😐👍 I have no problems but something to keep in fact is that when you delete the video from your camera roll it also deletes it from the apps storage. The quality it top notch and I would highly recommend. The different filters are also amazing and the fact that we can change the date is also something I really enjoy doing. This app is without a doubt great.

Please help!. I really like this recording app, but something happened. I recorded about 2 minute long video it was really important because I recorded my family reaction knowing that they’re going to see their daughter that haven’t seen in 10 years. Then, when I stopped the video the video wasn’t saved in the gallery right now I don’t know how to tell my family member that I don’t have the video. I paid a 3 dollars for this app please VHS help me get this video back.

Immaculate. The first-ever app review I’ve been compelled to write because it’s everything one could hope for from a VHS app and more. As if the startlingly accurate filters (customizable and all) weren’t enough, the transformative “muffled” tape sound is enough to convince viewers that your footage is indeed from the 1980s - and beyond. Infinite thanks!

Awesome app! Just a few issues... Sometimes the app will crash on me for no reason, or sometimes after trying to edit a video. And other times, it’ll refuse to finish editing said video. I’ve only encountered these glitches in ONE session and never again. I love this app, it has THE BEST aesthetic VHS look in my opinion. One thing i’m hoping for is the addition of the ability to edit photos in a similar manner. Crossing my fingers!

Great app! But a few changes I’d hope to see in future.. Love the application , but wish there would be more options for the time & date. I wish that when you import a video, the time & date at which the video was taken would be on the video. Or even when you can “spoof” the date , I want to be able to do the time as well instead of it just doing the real time at which you are converting the video. Overall, great app!

This is literally amazing. This is a game changer when it comes to posting aesthetic vaporwave late night posts. The fact that the quality of the video is so bad that it is literally perfect and it looks real, unlike the cheap overlays you would have to search for all over the internet and social media. I recommend this app to anyone who wants to put a little retro in their memories. Such a great deal too for $3.99. It’s not free, but it is TOTALLY worth it!!

GREAT. great app but i think you should add some vhs glitches you can use while recording (like bad tracking) and also you should work on the vhs filter a bit more. you can tell it is not actual vhs when you see the "3D" outlines on everything. plus you should work on the date text as you can tell that it is fake. other than all that, awesome app.

Keeps Crashing Constantly. Whenever I scroll down to see all of my photos when I want to import a video, the app crashes every single time. I can only import videos that I recently made because the app won’t let me see older ones. Everything else is fine (given the UI is confusing) but if a you were looking to import older photos with the effect it’s impossible. It also glitches a ton when you try ti reorient your device from landscape to portrait, and vice-versa.

Amazing video editor. I give this app a 5 star rating because it is so awesome! Here are reasons you should download this app: 1. This app is so awesome and it lets you record and even take a photo! 2. You can import images and photos with this masterpiece! And 3. You can change the look of the video!

Awesome filter but app keeps crashing. I really love the VHS style camera, but the app itself can be difficult to work with. The app crashes every single time I try to view videos in my camera roll (I’m able to successfully watch one, but never more than that). I would love to give this app 5 stars, however, this has been quite the annoyance.

It’s perfect!. I’ve had this app since it first came out. I recently started using it again. It’s as perfect now, even better with its updates, as it was when it was first released. Also, read the htf do I use this instructions! Not only do they give you some useful tips…but they are also pretty f’in funny!!

Great and alot of features. I was initially interested in finding a app to Offer a vintage camera look but this blew me away. I was unaware of how much we have over the distortion, color and even title. It can get a bit all over the place from time to time as I initially had now idea of the swipe feature which had me lost. Overall Great app. Before I finish I did have an issue with escaping the text box when editing titler if that was fixed easy 5/5

Very worth the $3. The graphics are very realistic, you can adjust how fuzzy the footage is, and you can even add text! There’s nothing you can’t do with this app. The manual is handy and readable, the controls are nice, and overall I had a good time recording with this app. I only have one complaint: it’s hard to put text over videos when they are importing, but even then it’s doable. I recommend this app!

Beautiful. I love this so much, it’s has such a great atheistic and seems just like the actual camera. Although I have one problem, I can’t change the time, if I wanna film at 3 in the am but wanna make it seem like 8 pm I gotta wait hours and hours, I hope that’s added but it might never happen. Anyway that the ONLY problem. Other than that, ten out of ten. It’s great

5 Stars Overall, Just One Thing…. I love this app in its entirety, how it works, how it looks, everything. The one thing I notice is that it doesn’t support is characters of other languages (for example “é”). Would be really cool if that could be added! Other than that, amazing app!

Great app but missing features. There used to be a camera quirk where if you dragged the static to the very top it would start to shake the image while saying “stabilizing”, I think that feature is gone, but I would love to see that added back as it was a key part of the authenticity of the app and created interesting moments.

Great app. I love this app so much because I’m an editor I use it when I need it I have one small complaint and it’s the new update. Whenever I’m about import an edit of mine it does a small little hop in the start, but the rest seems normal it’s just the beginning that’s all I hope you guys can fix that problem but other than that it’s works fluent 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Worth every penny. This app truly gives you the ability to record vhs quality videos on your phone. So many filters/settings to choose from. You can change the frame rate of your video and adjust your tracking. Do it. You know you want to…

Almost perfect. The app is truly wonderful and the closest thing to what a VHS recording would look like. Some things that would make it better: More audio degradation effects. For example, a hum or tracking synchronization with audio interference. Another effect could be when the recording starts, it produced a jump effect in the image accompanied by a speed audio distortion. Consideration of other VHS fonts with wider character support for other languages.

Great app for video memoirs. So far it’s been great. I love what they’ve done with this app but I wish they had an option or filter for modern video but still include the VHS text in the screen. Also the app has crashed on me a few times when I rotate my phone. Another thing, I wish I could see what filter I’m using when I’m selecting by swiping it (like Instagram). Overall worth the purchase and I’m happy with it for what it is.

Amazing!. Nothing really that needs to be improved from what I see! Maybe lower the quality a little, to give it that older affect. And yes before anybody else says there’s a setting to do that, I already have it on the lowest. But I think it would be better if it could go lower than what its able to now. I think that I freaking love this app! ❤️

Great for Analogue Horror. I got this app after discovering it was used to create “The Mandela Catalogue” the app is very intuitive, has plenty of fun settings. My only very small criticism is I’m unable to find a way to change the time in the app. Overall though, it does what it says, and for $2 I’d say it’s worth it.

They really went the extra mile. The depths they went to create this is amazing. I really go to a place of nostalgia of my home videos from the 90s using this app. The color profiles and the distortion of tape camcorders is so accurate. Also it’s definitely worth spending the few extra dollars to buy it for the extra options but both are amazing.

The only VHS filter I’ll use. I’m always skeptical downloading apps like these because the market tends to be littered with disappointing products, but I can confidently say that this app was everything I’d hoped for. The attention to detail is beautiful and it perfectly encapsulates the nostalgic camcorder aesthetic I’d been looking for. Worth every penny!

Best available option. this app is amazing! It allows you to record in many different effects, it even supports vertical format! You can convert videos from your camera roll into VHS style with just a click of a button as well! I Definitely recommend this app.

Great app. I bought the paid version. Honestly worth it, it’s four bucks. Skip coffee for a day it boom you’ve got an app with various filters, a PAUSE SHOOT BUTTON which for me is something I missed so much from older cameras!! I do wish I could have a version of the base filter without the static, but it’s a minor gripe. All in all, it’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

I LOVE IT BUT.... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS APP. I have never written a review for any app but this one is definitely worth writing. It does exactly what you want it to do! The only downside about this app would be the fact that you can’t have your music playing on your device while recording or even when the app is just opened. Other then that 12/10 recommend.

Needs a few things, but perfect otherwise. 10/10 filter. The footage looks like a steaming pile of magnetic garbage (in a good way). But there are a few features that could improve the app. There should be a way to change the time, and also a quick way to recenter the text. Other than that, the app is perfect.

2023 - Insanely Good Value. If you’re sick of the insane prices of the old VHS camcorders/Sony Handycams, buy this instead. Same look + customization, a lot of controls. I never rate apps or even buy them, but this is a must!! Look at the date of the negative reviews and see that they’re very old

Great app!. I searched and searched and searched for a video layover app that would make it look like an old VHS tape. I found a lot, but this one is the best. For the price, what you get and the quality of the video (which you want to be bad) this is the app to get it. I downloaded them all to test them out side by side in this one won! Just wish it had more customization options towards the video.

A small addition. I love the app and think it works wonderfully. It is easily the best VHS cam app on the App Store, however, I do have one small item I would like to see and that is a “Fade” button or option so when you begin recording it fades in from white and when you stop recording it fades out to white. This was a common feature on camcorders in the 80s and 90s and would complete the app for me. Outside of that keep up the great work Rarevision.

Import sound issue. Whenever I import a video through the app, the sound that usually degrades the audio speeds up and makes it sound like a high pitched buzz from a bee. However when I use my camera to make a normal video the sound is fine. If the devs could fix the static sound back to normal when importing a video it would be much appreciated.

Exceptional app that could use a couple of features to be perfect.. First off, this app is amazing, the developers did an excellent job. I’d give it 5-stars, but a couple of small annoyances hold it slightly back: •iPhones have multiple lenses now! I’d love to be able to toggle between the ultrawide, wide, and zoom lenses with an onscreen button press. • When you activate widescreen mode, the on-screen text stays in the same location as in 4:3 mode. A toggle to move it more to the left would be amazing. • A slider to adjust how "strong"the VHSification effect is, especially for imported videos • Be able to toggle date and time on and off independently. Currently it’s both or nothing. Support these devs! Buy the app. 💚

Really good. This app is great, and the functions, filters, and different interface options make the app so user friendly. I love this app and cannot stop using it. My only advice for the creator(s) is that there should be an option to change where the tracking lines are placed, and how many there are. Although, this app is amazing and hope for good updates!

fix the app please. rarevision VHS doesn’t have the second filter like the other app you have does I can’t use the second one because It says upgraded I did that but the same filters not on it can you please fix the app to be the same one as the second one and can you see if you can input photos on this app too as well as videos thx best regards Beyond the horrors

Lots of fun. I’ve used this as a throwback camcorder on outings with friends and family. Like Dad used to I break out the camera and film using the old school filters. It’s really fun to record and watch back. Has cool features like adding text, spoofing the date, and snapping pics too. Def worth getting if you have 80s,90s,00s nostalgia!

Awesome. This app is extremely easy to use and gives you realistic vhs effects without using any editing software to apply overlays. There are a crap-ton of options and the video and audio quality is almost exactly like a real camcorder. You don’t have to pay for a subscription like other vhs apps I was looking at, overall great app, I’d recommend buying this one over others on the App Store.

Best on the AppStore!. Great for a High-8 type look, good zoom and light features, lots of filters and aspect ratios, even audio quality options. I’ve bought three real VHS camcorders and none of them were salvageable even when listed as working. There’s a lot to play with, just remember the limits of your phone’s camera/mic. Would recommend a fisheye lens kit for people with 1-front facing camera iPhones.

This app is very epic but has one problem. I love this app since I’m a huge fan of vhs and just 80s stuff in general I’ve recorded a lot of videos on it and currently making a project with this app. The only problem I would say it has is when I import videos it’s all squashed up and looks bad I don’t if it’s my phone but I would like to see this problem fixed or something that I can fix it. Thank you for making a great app!!!

Great app. Great app, does exactly what I want it to do. The various filters and the options to change the date and title customization is a great feature. I only wish there was an option to completely remove the static from the screen and only have the vhs film grain effect. Other than that it’s a near perfect app 👍

The high-quality. It reminds me of 1980s two VHS era it’s super classic and beautiful and that time it’s very gracious and beautiful I really appreciate the app in the app is a 10 out of 10 satisfied if you wanna make nostalgic videos or type of analog horror or anything of society this is a very good program tool and recording software I really love it that’s a 10 out of 10

Get it! You’ll love it!. Been using it for years. Never once it fails to put a huge smile on my face! Interface is very user friendly and every time you share the video, people will always ask you questions! It’s a great conversation starter! Thank you team devs for making us able to go back to the late 80s! 😎

Best VHS camera you can get.. You can make it super realistic, super goofy, simple, whatever you want. This camera is so good that it honestly makes me worried that people are gonna start faking old footage lol. It’s insanely realistic and accurate to the old VHS recorders and it’s extremely customizable. I 100% recommend.

Feeds your Nostalgia!. This is hands down one of my most favorite apps on my phone. I’ve always missed the videos of my childhood; this allows me to either record through the app or upload my own prerecorded videos, to give them that nostalgic retro feel of a traditional “on-the-shoulder camcorder” look! Great job at making a quality application!😁
